OUR SERVICES

Choice. Challenge. Change.

WHAT WE DO

Our projects provide 1-2-1 support, outreach work and targeted group work programmes. From initial risk assessment and referral processes, we assess the children and young people using a contextual safeguarding framework, which is recognised as one of the most current and effective approaches.

Our staff use the children and young people’s understanding, knowledge and awareness to create change within them. This change could be behavioural, social or cultural. This includes exploring support around healthy relationships, protective behaviours and self-esteem.

Our support is long-term allowing us to consistently demonstrate improved levels of wellbeing.

Our Youth Participation programme is essential to ensuring we are a youth led organisation. Young people are involved in designing and reviewing our services. This involvement provides an opportunity to build upon their self-esteem, confidence and gives them the knowledge that they are using their experiences to help others.
